Friday's Favorite 5 with Kelly Marie Alvarez!

Hey there bloggers! Happy Friday to you, and happy FINAL day of STAMPtember! We've had a blast this month and hope you have enjoyed extra candies, sales, and extra special guests on our blog during the whole month! I'm so excited to tell you a little more about our featured blog guest today. Meet the President of Lawn Fawn, Kelly Marie Alvarez! Her personality is as warm and sweet as her smile, and she's wonderful to talk with! Her innovation and design vision, along with her wonderful husband, and design team has made the name 'Lawn Fawn' very prominent in the crafting community in a very short period of time. Here, above, she is pictured with her husband, Mike at their FIRST CHA show...which was JUST this year! Visit their gorgeous and inspirational blog daily, HERE.

Meet Francios. He is the delightful 'mascot' of Lawn Fawn. He is the original, and I'm sure will be forever treasured...kind of like how our Simon is a treasured mascot! :) Here's a little bit about Lawn Fawn Stamps... they are a small company from Southern California that specializes in clear stamps that are fun and lively. They began in March 2010 with the release of four stamp sets and are now proud to showcase an entire collection of fifty-five sets! Their stamps have been seen in the pages of Paper Crafts, CARDS, Take Ten, and Creating Keepsakes magazines with many more publications to come. When it comes to Lawn Fawn you will find clear stamps that are cute, whimsical, and even a bit quirky, but one thing they all have in common is the ability to inspire creativity in everyone.

Check out this beautiful work space! It's so organized and pretty, I can see how it's a place of constant inspiration! NOW!! Time for the fun stuff.. Kelly's 5 favorite crafting tools and why;

Kelly even designed a card for the occasion! Isn't she is the sweetest? And speaking of the sweetest...this card is SO CUTE! To make your own version of this super sweet card you will only need the following items;

Can anyone explain to me, why this happens? The same problem occured 2 days afgo and I´ve never seen that entry on the blog either, I saw in my reader that day??????Hope you all have a great week-end here and a HAppy International Cardmakingday tomorrow

I first stumbled onto Lawn Fawn stamps when I was watching many card making videos. What I liked about their videos was showing the whole project being made with parts on fast forward and showing decisions being made as you go, just like the rest of us do when we are creating cards. I agree with the comments about the uniqueness of their images. Thank you for featuring them!

Love these two cards! Such a cute turkey. Great job! And thanks for the view into her workspace, awesome...if only... I loved all of the tips and tricks and neat things you showed all month! Thanks for sharing!

Celebrations and events bring you the opportunity not just to discover the meaning of relations in your life. In fact, it gives you the opportunity to accessorize the relations as well. And the ever charming appeal in its gift stuffs thatwww.hampersnationwide.com/Germany/Gift_Ideas_Germany.asp keeps delivering for your close acquaintances is just the right move that your celebration deserves.

I love Francois! Is that an electrical cord? Does he illuminate? I hope so! I also love that he is, for some reason, wearing a flea collar. How many deer have one of those? I'd love to win the stamps, but now I really think I'd be most excited if I won Francois! :)

OH my Goodness!! I would so love to win these items!!! I love LF stamps, and Kelly seems like such a sweetheart, and is extremely talented.. That snowmen card is so adorable!!!! Thanks SSS for the chance 2 win!
